Idk if I'm crazy or not, but on one of my accounts, Moooose2, I have seen an absurd amount of riven in my games. Anybody know why?

Skin hype, mostly. Although she is on the strong side of the table. She interestingly only has a high win rate in high tier, with a below average win rate at low tier, balancing out at 50% globally.

This is what I figure to be the result of her recent animation cleanup, allowing players with a higher latency to get better with Riven. This is more accurate to her true power, so she'll be easier to balance.

So far, I don't think she herself needs to get nerfed, only the items she and other high performing champions like her currently makes good use of, like Death's Dance.

Still, even if she doesn't get touched, once the hype dies down, her pick rate will decline.
